So many books to enjoy at Lanark library 📚 Room 3 were enthralled 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼@LanarkPrimary
Room 3 had a wonderful visit to Lanark Library this afternoon. The children enjoyed looking at fiction and non-fiction books, writing book reviews and they even got the opportunity to illustrate their own book. A great time was had by all 📚! @SLCLiteracy
Just look at this letter formation in P1a 👇🏼
P1A have been practising dictated sentences in partners. Lots of hard work and lovely letter formation ✍🏼 @SLCLiteracy #Literacy
A well- deserved nomination for @ReadingCafePod. 👏👏👏
Can’t wait for tonight’s @IndPodAwards in London’s @KingsPlace!
We are truly honoured that @ReadingCafePod has been nominated for the Children’s and Young Adults’ category.
There are so many exciting things coming up over the next year so keep listening and #keepreading!
Say, make/break, blend, read, write @StPaulsHam. Embedding a research- based, active routine like this in learners’ muscle memory, is a powerful tool in developing fundamental early literacy skills 🤩
In the Sunshine Room, our boys and girls are becoming so confident in using their 5-finger strategy to successfully blend sounds to read and write their words #successfullearners #confidentindividuals @SLCLiteracy
Such an inviting place to relax and read 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼@NetherburnPs
P6/7 cosy library complete!🍃📖🐛✅
(Minus our new rug that’s being delivered soon)!
Now it’s time to enjoy some read and relax time in our lovely new space!

Today the children have been making their own books. Some have recreated their favourite story and some have used their imagination to create their own. Well done 📚 #literacy @SLCEarlyLearn @SLCLiteracy
Funky fingers at work in @NetherburnPs. Just look at the concentration on these wee faces 😍
We had a lot of fun working on our fine motor skills this week using lots of different resources.@SLCEarlyLearn @SLCLiteracy @FineMotor @PlayPioneerScot

Well worth reading - thanks @RealGeoffBarton 👏👏 Oracy is surely ‘a building block for #reading and #writing ‘ 👇👇👇
We need to talk about oracy—what it is, why it matters, and why it matters now, in particular.
We are proud to share the final report from The Oracy Education Commission, including our findings and recommendations.
We need to talk👇

Creative use of the Read&Write toolbar 🔦🔦🔦 in @LeadhillsS @SLCDigitalEd
Primary 1-4 @LeadhillsS used the Read and Write toolbar to research facts about the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. They used this information to help them plan an event which they are going to advertise in the format of a poster @mrsfrenchlps @SLCLiteracy @SLC_RAiSE

Our Reading Leaders set up and expertly facilitated the S1 Reading Café last week. The library was abuzz with lots of discussion around our S1 pupils’ reading choices this term. What a fab team they are! #ReadingSchool #leadbyexample #readingforpleasure📚
